Lagman Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Talking about the Island about two thirds down here - http://northamericanmanx.org/nama/iomf_issue508.pdf - Quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrotlima Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I must admit, I have had the pleasure of meeting him and he is so down to earth it is refreshing. My children's father is a member of Ramsey RNLI and he was the guest of honour a couple of years ago for their Lifeboat Day fundraiser (and muggins got roped into helping). He stayed for ages signing autographs and having photos taken with the children and did something that really both surprised and pleased me. For anyone that hasn't experienced a Lifeboat fundraiser, it is pretty much stalls with all kinds of RNLI stuff for sale, and a food stall with home made sandwiches and tea or coffee in a polystyrene cup. He came over, bought himself a sarnie and a cuppa and sat on the steps munching away quite happily. I know it might not sound much, but we were all really quite touched by it. The interview in the article you posted Lagman was really quite positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 One of my favourite actors (and no I'm not one of those govigs into Lord of the Rings). I think his finest work is yet to be done, as his character and ability seem to be maturing with age - I'd love him to play Quatermass - now there's a film or two that need a modern remake with some decent CGI and a good cast.

Pragmatopian Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I must admit, I have had the pleasure of meeting him and he is so down to earth it is refreshing. My dad was sitting next to him on a flight to London a few years ago and said much the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deejay Denzel Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 On the downside... He wants to pay a particular contractor for work done 5 years ago, quite conveniently he is never in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I rang him up once on his mobile to let him know something he'd ordered was in. He said he'd not be in for several weeks as he was on location in Tunisia - I ended that call pretty sharpish! Sure enough though, several weeks later he was in for said items. Really nice guy IMVHO.
